A Bit About the Literary Tone of This Book--Fearless Puppy on American Road has an entertainment value that should prove enjoyable to all readers, but its tone can be a little rude at times. Many of our fellow Earthlings have been conditioned to receive the majority of their information from unreliable sources-- most notably, TV dramas and the so-called News. Fearless Puppy, through its unique style attempts to place some degree of Buddhist, Native American and ecological information within a framework that the average American, as they are, will be able to relate to. The book is a little rough and tumble. If anyone should find the language, occasional harshness of honesty, humor, or drama offensive--I apologize. It is hoped that every reader will be able to gain from this little story, and recognize this literary method's potential.
The Main Purpose of Fearless Puppy and The Dog Soldier Trilogy of Books is to establish permanent funding sources to be used for sponsoring the physical care and education of what is hoped will be an increasing number of wisdom professionals. This is outlined well enough in the book's introduction, but here is a more specific example of how the project will work. The first substantial profits from book sales will be used to build hotel/motel type guesthouses near Temples in Asia. The money raised from travelers patronizing these guest houses will perpetually support Monk and Nun students. The guesthouses will be built westerner-friendly (guaranteed good water, AC, and such). It is hoped this will facilitate westerners to come and receive teachings from their Lamas (etc.), on that Teacher's home turf--without having to wait until the Teacher makes an American or European tour. The stay would be comfortable for western students while providing funding to support the care and education of existing (and especially within the framework of this project's goals) future wisdom professionals. The guesthouses will be open to local and international travelers year 'round in order to most efficiently achieve this objective (raise as much $ as possible). These motel/hotel type facilities should also succeed in employing local builders and workers, and in improving the tourist trade and local economies of the areas they are in.
Your assistance is vital to the success of this project. Fearless Puppy on American Road is not being sent to agents or publishers. Avoiding the usual industry percentage takes will maximize the profit from each book sold. There has never been a more grass roots effort than this. Our advertising budget is $0. We believe that the common concern of our friends will accomplish the universally beneficial goal. If you are in accord with the book's purpose, please consider the following possibilities, as well as any creative options you might come up with yourself. Do you know of: 1--any positively motivated organizations who would want to receive copies of the book at a discount, in order to raise funds for their own group while assisting our effort? 2--Any empathetic retail outlets (needn't be bookstores!--I have them in health food stores, bagel places, and many etc.s) that might see fit to carry the book? 3--Would you send an announcement of the book/project to everyone on your Email list? (Should you care to do this, but don't really want to write the announcement, I have one ready that I can forward to you. 4--Know of friends who might enjoy the book? Fearless Puppy accomplishes many purposes as a singular gift!
A bit about the author--Upon your Email request, the following information about the author of this book/inventor of this project is available to you hard copy: newspaper articles regarding previous charity projects organized, Congressional Record piece about the author and one of these projects as presented to Congress by Sen. Kerry of Massachusetts, Giraffe Society citation, recommendations from previous employers and volunteer groups including counseling centers, Save the Children, Greenpeace and CAN (Citizen's Awareness Network), etc. Contact me anytime you feel like it. I'm always available.
Thank you very much. Be well. Love, Ten
